Summary

Objective: Measure serum IgG antibody to Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6B, 9V e 14, Haemophilus influenzae type b and tetanus toxoid in patients with primary antibody deficiencies who were treated with subcutaneous immunoglobulin infusions.

Conditions

  • Common Variable Immunodeficiency
  • Agammaglobulinemia

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

gammaglobulin

They were administered a polyvalent, pasteurized liquid immune globulin subcutaneously (human 16% Beriglobin ®, Germany) with doses ranging from 57 to 132 mg/kg/week in order to maintain the same dosage they received by intravenous route monthly previous to this protocol. After a wash-out period (15 weeks) of the subcutaneous immunoglobulin administration, blood was collected every 4 weeks immediately before infusions. The infusions were administered using battery-powered ambulatory syringe drivers together with 10 or 20 ml syringe and infusions sets according to a pre-defined protocol (Gardulf et al, 2006).
